They should not be allowed to patent things like that. Ok here's an idea i've had lets watch someone patent this because I haven't. What about patenting a projection system on any device that uses nanotechnology. Or patent 4d TV's or coffee machines that can also make tea or teapots tha can also hold coffee. Give me a break. Why patent this, it just stops other and better developers than Apples being able to make something without a BS lawsuit.. Cut the crap.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512d3d65ecad04d76c000004jacknTue, 26 Feb 2013 17:55:33 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512d3d65ecad04d76c000004
functionally speaking, you will be able to tell what time it is.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512cd9e169bedda348000013SSTue, 26 Feb 2013 10:50:57 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512cd9e169bedda348000013
JUST HEARD - A PREGNANCY PREDICTOR?!
Will be able to predict the probability of pregnancy during sex from sperm count and ovulation.

Re: "“Apple will need to use materials and durability standards well out of their comfort zone in order to make an iWatch more than a wrist novelty for a few weeks.”
That's bizarre! Apple is the company known for using solid aluminum instead of plastic it's competitors use. Using durable materials is not only "within Apple's comfort zone" it is Apple's forté.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512ccbdfecad04ed1200001dDermotTue, 26 Feb 2013 09:51:11 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512ccbdfecad04ed1200001d
and before the iphone, the idea of computer in pocket with big touch screen was always wanted. Just myself and most people assumed it would be another 10-15 years before it would happen.
With smartWatch I could again vastly underestimating the state of technology, but as you say we won't know until it comes out i guess.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512ccaa569bedd2821000028DermotTue, 26 Feb 2013 09:45:57 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512ccaa569bedd2821000028
fair enough, just from the photos being thrown around I looks like people are getting crazy excited by the idea of a 2" smartphone on their wrist, and I'm not seeing what the appeal is. not sure if there is something obvious that i'm missing?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512cc599ecad04660700000eaTue, 26 Feb 2013 09:24:25 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512cc599ecad04660700000e
Until this comes out as a product we won't know. Who actually wanted personal computer in their pocket before the iPhone?
" So what functionality is nice to have in a watch format, given that i'll be keeping my phone aswell?"
That is Google's solution, certainly what they are doing with Google Glass. Seems pretty dumb to me though.
"I don't know what the smart watches are planning, but if its essentially just a 2 inch smartphone with a strap then its not going to interest me."
As I said, meaningless example. We don't know what it is, do we? So saying if it is X then I am not interested is the ultimate strawman argument.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512cbb1d69beddd579000006Samir ShahTue, 26 Feb 2013 08:39:41 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512cbb1d69beddd579000006
Yes, durability is No. 1. Where are you Jony? Jony?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512cb7dd6bb3f7be5d000028DermotTue, 26 Feb 2013 08:25:49 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512cb7dd6bb3f7be5d000028
My biggest question on the smart watch thing, (not specific to apple's one), is what am I going to do with it?
I've gone for bigger screen phones because for the stuff I do on it, games, internet, videos, typing messages, etc, a bigger screen is nicer, and it also has phone functionality.
If that functionality is moving to a watch format, I'm not going to be interested, I want the big screen. So what functionality is nice to have in a watch format, given that i'll be keeping my phone aswell?
I think the only thing that would particularly entice me, would be if its a really cool looking sci-fi style watch, a wrapping around your wrist display thing, with i'd use as a watch and maybe news updates scrolling on it. Maybe if the entire thing could unsnap from my wrist and become a 4" flat screen that i could use like a phone, but i think that level of technology isn't here yet.
